I was on my knees begging...and you know the rest.

I think her comment is a great example of something that should be taken with a grain of salt. You should want to succeed as a husband and father. Knowing my current WAW and having realized that my first wife became one, too, I just remind myself that they carry around deeply seated bitterness related to how we have been in the R. Have empathy. Tell yourself (and not her) "just wait and see" and don't give in to the temptation to always express yourself fully. I had retreated into my cave of failure after a job loss and got into the habit of not feeling and not expressing myself to such a degree that when I finally began to feel and speak freely, I went overboard, and that would sometimes have the result of pushing her further from me.

Be patient and know that she will ride a roller coaster that you don't have to join her.
